Hev. I totally agree with you, and at times some people can be very nasty indeed for no good reason. I wouldn't dream of correcting someones spelling or grammar, but this particular post was totally unintelligible......having said that, LADYMORTICIA did a fantastic translation :rotfl:

I think you can only have what you are given in the will. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong though, as I've never had any dealings with wills or anything.

It could cost you far more than a thousand pounds in legal fees to try and get any money.

When your Dad died there was a list of things that had to be paid first. All debts have to be paid first, so any credit card bills, loans, overdrafts that are in his name had to be paid out of any money left. Traditionally the cost of the funeral is the first paid, but I don't know how legal that is. Once that is all paid then any money left over is shared out. If your Dad died with a lot of debt and the deeds of the house actually say that his partner should have the house if he died then you will be entitled to no money at all.

To put this into perspective about how money can be eaten up, my late Mother in law's funeral was over £3,000. Any money shared out in the will had to be shared after this cost had been paid.

Proving that your Dad left enough money to allow you to get your thousand will be very expensive in legal costs.

You have mentioned a ring - was that mentioned in the will? Do you know if anyone other than your Dad's girlfriend or your sister who knew what your Dad wanted to happen with the ring? Just because you are the oldest does not mean you get special treatment unless it is in the will.

What other things are there that you want? Is it stuff like photos or ornaments that you have strong feelings about? Is there anyone who can speak to your Dad's partner on your behalf?

I'm sorry if this is not what you want to hear. Perhaps it might be better to just walk away from the situation. You may not have the material things but arguments over wills can consume people with bitterness and cause trouble within families for years.

Hope this helps.

the ring is his old wedding ring.she says dad threw it in the bin and she said it wasnt right to do that and kept it in her jewellery box. i need that money now. she wont talk to us cause my brother took a video of dad dead in hospital to show mum and dad hated mum. not that bothered about pics as wasnt close to him we dont believe she should have that house.

What a disrespectful way to treat a dead man.
I don't see why you think you "deserve" anything at all.
If your Dad was looking down on you now,do you think he would be proud of the way you are treating the woman he loved?
I think rather than calling yourself "for Dad" you'd be better off calling yourself sumfin like "Juz4mi."

I don't mean to be rude, but why did your brother take a video of your dead father? Didn't your mum believe he had died or something?
